Going to the java.com applet test (http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml?ff3) with the gcjwebplugin installed results in the applet failing to initialize (see attached debug output). Doing the same with the Sun JRE package works fine. This site has problems too: http://www.w3.org/People/mimasa/test/object/java/clock Here only the upper row of applets works (using applet tags) while the lower doesn't (using object tags). Again switching to Sun's JRE fixes the problem.

The java.com testvm.xml applet issue has been fixed upstream: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/distro-pkg-dev/2008-June/002411.html
http://www.w3.org/People/mimasa/test/object/java/clock - is definitely a problem. I am looking into this.
The problem is with this attibute - classid="java:tz.class"
Both of the above mentioned pages now work with the new plugin in Rawhide/F10.
Nice; any chance to get the updated version into RHEL 5.3 as well? Currently the beta has version 1.6.0.0-0.22.b09.el5.
The plugin is not included in RHEL-5.3
